Yummy Valentine’s Day Bark

We’re just a few days away from Valentine’s Day. I’ve never been a huge fan of the day itself, preferring to wait until the following month when we celebrate our anniversary instead. But, I do like some of the fun of it- especially celebrating my boys and of course, making yummy Valentine’s Day treats.

All of my boys inherited my sweet tooth, but my oldest isn’t fond of what he calls “too much chocolate.” He doesn’t like pizza, either. We’re pretty sure he was switched at birth. He likes chocolate, but he prefers it to be an ingredient in his dessert rather than the main ingredient. So, I made this Valentine’s Day bark with him in mind. It can easily be modified if you’d rather have more of a chocolate flavor, though I’ll admit to being partial to the fun pink color of this treat.

Valentine’s Day Bark

Ingredients (and where to get them)

1 pound bright pink vanilla flavored candy wafers

1/2 cup chocolate flavored candy wafers

strawberry heart marshmallows (about 20)

1/4 – 1/2 cup Valentine’s M&M’s

I found the bright pink vanilla flavored candy wafers in Walmart. Not in baking, but over near the crafting/cake decorating supplies. You can also find it in places like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. If you can’t find the bright pink, you can always use white candy wafers or white chocolate chips and food coloring.

You can use chocolate chips in place of the chocolate flavored candy wafers if you prefer. I like how easily the wafers melt.
